I
welcome
Hi Gina & Nick!
Congratulations and welcome to this exciting new phase of life together! I am thrilled to have made this connection, inviting you to explore my work deeper and ask any questions as we us our opportunity to talk about your day. The Field Museum is my favorite building in the city, you couldn't be setting up a better backdrop to host a celebration in the city. My priority for you is to stay present, offering experience and guidance to your vision for photography, and collaborating with the great team you assemble at any step of the way.
what is important
Being comfortable in your moments. The experience ahead is the culmination of all that is personal, and proper thought about how you want to receive and spread that love should be given. That extends to the people you surround yourself with. I focus on being your photographic guide and an emotional constant, blending in and out to let you live your day. Treating all parties with equity as we weave through events is the groundwork of a candidly told experience you will always want to revisit. It is an honor to share these incredibly personal days as a matter of "professional routine," only growing in importance, and as a day now I look forward to again in my on life from the lens of a parent.

about Kent
On a personal note, I'm married to my High School Sweetheart, and our relationship is the foundation of my approach to a wedding day. At this point we have spent over half our lives together, which is a fun benchmark to achieve. We have two great kids, both navigating the elementary school life of Evanston, and we keep busy with club soccer and my efforts to turn them into Midwest ski junkies. My business has afforded us the opportunity to be with them on a daily basis since their beginnings, something we would never change.
Not every career can be born from a favor, for this I am lucky. The extent of my formal training is my Dad's camera and a Photo 101 class in the twilight of university. Life brought me to Japan, and with it a new love of photography, documenting our experiences abroad through an inherently natural medium. After relocating to Chicago in 2008, at a friend's request I was documenting my first wedding, and my future couldn't have been more clear.
It has been an amazing journey to this point, working alongside so many talented professionals in landmark buildings and spaces. I didn't see this coming as a kid, and that's just fine, it means I followed my instincts and natural talents to date.
